Microbiome dysbiosis resulting in altered metabolite profiles may be associated with certain diseases, including inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which are characterized by active intestinal inflammation. Several studies have indicated the beneficial anti-inflammatory effect of metabolites from gut microbiota, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and/or D-amino acids in IBD therapy, through orally administered dietary supplements. In the present study, the potential gut protective effects of d-methionine (D-Met) and/or butyric acid (BA) have been investigated in an IBD mouse model. We have also built an IBD mouse model, which was cost-effectively induced with low molecular weight DSS and kappa-carrageenan. Our findings revealed that D-Met and/or BA supplementation resulted in the attenuation of the disease condition as well as the suppression of several inflammation-related gene expressions in the IBD mouse model. The data shown here may suggest a promising therapeutic potential for improving symptoms of gut inflammation with an impact on IBD therapy. However, molecular metabolisms need to be further explored.

Nutrient availability strongly affects intestinal homeostasis. Here, we report that low-protein (LP) diets decrease amino acids levels, impair the DNA damage response (DDR), cause DNA damage and exacerbate inflammation in intestinal tissues of male mice with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Intriguingly, loss of nuclear fragile X mental retardation-interacting protein 1 (NUFIP1) contributes to the amino acid deficiency-induced impairment of the DDR in vivo and in vitro and induces necroptosis-related spontaneous enteritis.

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are characterized by unrestrained innate and adaptive immune responses and compromised intestinal epithelial barrier integrity. Regulatory T (T) cells are crucial for maintaining self-tolerance and immune homeostasis in intestinal tissues. Prostaglandin E (PGE), a bioactive lipid compound derived from arachidonic acid, can modulate T cell functions in a receptor subtype-specific manner.

Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is often associated with impaired proliferation and differentiation of intestinal stem cells (ISCs). Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which is predominantly found in fish oil, has been recognized for its intestinal health benefits, although the potential mechanisms are not well understood.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the regulatory role and mechanism of EPA in colonic epithelial regeneration, specifically from the perspective of ISCs.

Pannexin 1 (PANX1) forms cell-surface channels capable of releasing signaling metabolites for diverse patho-physiological processes. While inhibiting dysregulated PANX1 has been proposed as a therapeutic strategy for many pathological conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), low efficacy, or poor specificity of classical PANX1 inhibitors introduces uncertainty for their applications in basic and translational research. Here, hit-to-lead optimization is performed and a naphthyridone, compound 12, is identified as a new PANX1 inhibitor with an IC of 0.
